Winco ASFP-11 Aluminum Stir Fry Pan, 11-Inch

Great heavy pan. Just used it for making carbonara. The shape makes it perfect for tossing the pasta & emolisfying. It arrived with a few minor scratches on the top lip by the handle. Doesn't effect use. Also all 3 of the rivets weren't fully knocked in. Still very sturdy just a bit naff. Would still recommend.

Works well for finishing pasta

It's perfect for creating creamed pasta dishes like carbonara or cacio pepe. It's a bit heavy but the thickness of the aluminum material is about 5mm or 1/8in that is great for heat retention at the low temperatures needed for the creaming process. The size is big enough to make large portions. If you can't buy an Italian pan, buy this one.

Came with medium chips and scratches all around the rim of the pan, overall still effective, but would've been nice if there wasn't sharp bits around the edge due to the damage/defects

A couple shallow gouges in the metal, near the rim, when I received it (as expected from other people's reviews), doesn't affect performance. Otherwise this is an A+ pan. The pan is heavy duty, built like a tank, with bombproof rivets and handle. The (silicone?) handle cover is very tight, robust and good quality. Thick pan, it's not lightweight but I like that about it. Glad I bought it... first thing I cooked was cacio e pepe, it was the best one I've made yet. Also, excellent value for $50.

Product at the beginning looks amazing but after two or three stir fried, food will stick to the bottom and it is definitely not a real stir pan. Avoid if you dont want to lose your money.
